The golf swing needs width……….and depth
Streaming Video Series
Quick question here Monte. Seems that the deeper you get, the more hip turn that you should have on your backswing? Seems like your right elbow would get behind your right hip otherwise? Another great video that is short but full of great info!
Hip turn good. for many reasons and you listed the big one.
Thanks for the reply
Very well expressed, Monte. I’d like to see a couple of shots of Davis, showing his good combination of width & depth, compared and contrasted with a couple shots of J. Random Hacker’s bad combination of width & depth. You wouldn’t even need a line, just a bright dot to show the position of the butt of the shaft in the good and bad versions. (I’d offer some shots of my swing, but I don’t want to cause anyone to get nauseous.)

I have a question. How do you release your club (wrists), but keep your left wrist flat through impact? I always hear a lot about back swing positioning, but most of us hacker amateurs need lessons on impact and release.
i.e., I take a divot when iron striking my balls, so I would imagine I am hitting down on the ball, but the ball flight is still very high and that kills my distance. I would imagine I am scooping, and I know my left wrist is breaking, but I don’t know how to stop that. How about a lesson/video on impact/release drills?
Couple videos examples of both width and depth:

Is it just me or does it seem like they both have a bit of a flip at/just before impact? Or is this just a full release but at a much higher speed?
Dont confuse flipping with increased axis tilt of the body, since they both hit driver and try to hit up on the ball, the club head already passed the low point of the swing arc BEFORE impact with the ball. That’s what gives u the perception of flipping, but it’s not, only visual deception because of the setup….
…and if course ball position
Great video Monte. You explain things so succinctly. Thank you!
